[PD] Ugly looking fonts in printed postscript patches on MacOsX

[Arda Eden]

Hi,
After a few hours of work I decided that my solution was not a good idea. :)
If I go back with Mr. Puckette’s script, how can I use it ? Is it a command line script or a piece of code that will work in pure data ?

Thanks.

I edited a postscript file and found the line related to the text justification. I think I can write a shell script now and mass change the necessary lines in all my .ps files by using the Gnu 'sed’ command.

But the fonts inside the object boxes are vertically justified to the top and that looks ugly (see the sample in attachment).
